It has been a long time since I was able to post here and recently was encouraged to start posting again. I will start by posting a video for those who are battle weary from the spiritual onslaught going on during these last days. Be encouraged, replenished, and comforted… you are not alone.

Too many merely accept the Word on the surface. They pick and choose this verse or that and build their doctrine out of it. One instance for example is that in regard to adultery. God’s Word says that you should not commit adultery; wherefore, those who have not slept with someone outside of their […]

McKinney, TX – A very serious accident was prevented today on 75 Northbound in McKinney, Texas. Authorities are crediting Google with yet another display of their incredible talent. According to Google officials, their program Wisdom Attained Through Compiling History (W.A.T.C.H.) was able to send out multiple signals to several cars in the area, overriding the manual controls, and automatically re-routing the traffic into a non-accident producing pattern.

“We estimate that there were 7 lives saved today as a result of the W.A.T.C.H. program” stated the Google official. “All total that’s 2,457 lives that have been saved since our program went online six months ago.” …

COULD THIS REALLY HAPPEN?

Have you ever just been minding your own business when all of the sudden a picture/event pops into your head and you wonder… where the heck did that come from? Especially if it’s of some future type event, that you know hasn’t happened yet, and because of the bizarreness of the vision, it’s almost unbelievable.

Wait… are you saying that you have? or that you haven’t? Well, either way, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this nearly science fiction type vision that popped into my head the other day. When I saw it, it was very real. Let’s just say, it was sort of a mix between Minority Report and the Matrix. It’s what prompted me to write the “future” headline and article above.

I was actually driving at the time when suddenly I was picturing a multi-car accident playing out in my mind… not such a big deal, I’ve had those before, but here is where the bizarre part comes in. This accident, which was obviously some time in the future was being prevented and even reversed by something.

You see in my futuristic vision Google had become so powerful, so virtually connected to every aspect of our lives, that their computers were able to prevent this accident. They were collecting data on everything from traffic conditions, types of cars on the road, who was on the road, who had insurance, how many accidents had taken place at that location in the past, how many accidents the drivers in the area had been in, their moods (via Twitter & Facebook and something called Plooter – I have no idea, but I’ve got dibs on the name), how much gas was in each car, who was falling asleep at the wheel (due to networked retina scans inside the vehicle), etc., etc. I think you get the point.

Now, Google was able to extract all of this information, drop it into a aggregator and instantly compare it to all historical data to determine that an accident was about to happen. In my vision, which only lasted a half-second, the accident started in slow motion, but half way through, it reversed (very Matrix style as if I could have watched the event from any angle I wanted to – This would have been possible since, in the future, there will literally be cameras recording events from every angle imaginable, including the view from our own eyes.)

So, there I was, driving into a non-existent accident scene because the Google bots had caused one or more of the cars to slow down just enough to avoid the catalyst that started what could have been a horrific accident scene with tremendous loss of life. Horray for Google they saved the day… or did they? This kind of gives new meaning to “Google Earth“.

This is so funny… my wife Alison “Truthoughts” has a friend from Jr.High/Highschool, on Facebook, that has a great sense of humor. He posted this hilarious pic on his Facebook account. You can find Bryan Turner on Facebook by clicking his name.

While building up my favorite Tweets list for the next installment of “The Funniest Tweets I’ve Seen on Twitter“, it just hit me that there are certain activities that are taking place on Twitter in the biggest “follower grab” in the history of the internet. Reminiscent of the Oklamhoma land grab or the California Gold Rush, there seems to be a “mad dash” to grab as many Twitter followers as you can, as fast as you can.

If you haven’t gotten caught up in the excitement, I had better warn you that it is quite addicting. As I created this list, funny how it came to me so easily… hmmm… I realized that I myself am guilty of a few of these tell tale signs. So, sit back and enjoy the laugh and know that if you can associate with one or more of these, you are in good company!

Here are 10 sure-fire signs you’ve become a Twitter whore:

10. Your Tweets have more than two hash tags: #HappyO9, #TCOT, #bedtimestories, #blacklabs that don’t seem to be related.

9. You get a really nice DM repsonse back, but you have no clue what they are talking about, because you can’t link back to your original DM.

Now you really can take your secrets to the grave!

According the this article, Bury Me With My Cell Phone it is a growing trend to be buried with your cell phone (also known to many as an iPhone) or other electronic gadget.

“It seems that everyone under 40 who dies takes their cell phone with them,” says Noelle Potvin, family service counselor for Hollywood Forever, a funeral home and cemetery in Hollywood, Calif. “It’s a trend with BlackBerrys, too. We even had one guy who was buried with his Game Boy.”

Well, I guess that’s one way of making sure that the data on your Blackberry or iPhone goes to the grave with you. That’s the first thing I thought of when I read this article. Especially for people who have sensitive data on their phones.

So, instead of the McCain-Palin campaign mishap of selling a Blackberry for $20 that had peronal information and emails still inside, that Blackberry could have gone to the grave with that person (or simply been erased, but where’s the fun in that?)

According to the “Bury Me With My Cell Phone” article, appearently some people’s family members are so used to the electronic gadget being with the deceased person, that it just doesn’t seem right for them to be without it.

“I’ve even heard of cases where people are being buried with their iPod. Or one guy who was prepared for his viewing with his Bluetooth (headset) in his ear.”

It’s kind of ironic given that fact that someone so attached to their cell phone, that they have to be buried with it, may be in the grave as a result of their cell phone use, as this article seems to suggest: Cell Phone=Brain Cancer?

Maybe some people just want to make sure that they are connected in the afterlife in the land of unlimited Twitter followers and StumbleUpon friend connections.

What about you? How connected are you to your electronic equipment? According to a recent aritlce, a study, conducted by Harris Interactive and sponsored by Intel, found that 46 percent of women and 30 percent of men would prefer to do without sex for 2 weeks than to not be connected to the internet for two weeks.

So, what do you think about this new trend? Let us know your thoughts below in the comment section!

There are wonderful things happening in Twitterville these days. There is a whole movement within Social Networking and the Social Media for corporations and businesses to “get involved” or get “left behind”. Quite simply, businesses are becoming more “transparent” to the consumer and actually getting into the whole online social scene. For example, one of my followers, @GuyKawasaki (a renowned entrepreneur and venture capitalist) wrote an extensive post here on how to gain more Twitter followers. He should know, he’s at 27,000 followers and counting. You should also check out another one of my followers @JackBastide who has dedicated an entire blog to what he’s has learned about Twitter and how you can benefit from it. I have many other who’s whos in my list of followers. Be sure to follow them all.

Thanks for Coming!
